Journaling:

My H sent me an email today inviting me to lunch to discuss our D's behavior. I agreed. He did most of the talking, as usual. He did tell me that he understood what daycare and I were talking about regarding her behavior, throwing tantrums, and alot of crying since we split. I tried to explain to him that she was going through grief just as I am. He said he believes 80% is terrible two's and 20% is us splitting. I disagreed and told him ask his friends (females of course) and read up on this.

He tried to push my buttons several times but I did not take the bait.

He did give me a compliment on my appearance. Which he hasn't done in a long time.

When were leaving and standing outside of the restaurant. He said give me a hug. And he hugged me tight and kissed me on the cheek. Is this his way of taking baby steps?
